It is very useful to be able to test the crash path, but in order to do so, we need to expose various ways to crash the kernel in a deterministic fashion. This commit adds a file, /proc/sys/kernel/net_dump_now that takes various tokens that will crash the kernel in various ways. Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <redacted> --- This trigger is probably better done using an ABI that is much more generic. It could perhaps be an extension of /proc/sysrq-trigger, though it would be nice to have the 'types' of crashes enumerated in a programmable manner somehow to know if they are available or not. --- drivers/net/netoops.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
